Replacing brightness with power in XFCE_PLUGINS, followed by running 'emerge -avuND @world', still tried to downgrade the package in question. I then ran 'emerge -avuND '>xfce-extra/xfce4-power-manager-1.3.1' which suggested adding '=xfce-extra/xfce4-power-manager-1.4.0 ~x86' to /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords. I did that, followed by running 'emerge -avuND @world', which pulled in xfce-extra/xfce4-power-manager-1.4.0. Thanks.
